Unable to Reuse X422 1.8TB 10k SAS Disks in another Filer

adeelleo — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:27:21 GMT

Hi Team,

One of my old NetApp Filers died on me and now i am left with several 1.8TB 10k SAS Disks that i want to use in another filer for Non- Production workloads.

But i am unable to use the disks in the second filer.

I don't care about the data on the disks. I just need them to be usable again.

The disks come from and encrypted filer and the second filer does not have encryption enabled.

Below outputs might help with identifying the issue.
